Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Robert Gasser earned his first win since May 15, 2024, in a 9-4 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Sunday. Gasser allowed four hits and one walk while striking out seven batters over six innings. He had not completed six innings in any of his first five starts this season.
Second-inning outburst Milwaukee scored eight runs in the second inning, giving Gasser an early lead. The left-hander threw 66 pitches through three innings, prompting manager Pat Murphy to deliver a mid-game message. "We challenged him and he took it well, he did a good job," Murphy said after the game.
Manager's message Gasser said the message focused on attacking from the first pitch rather than letting the game's flow dictate his approach. He retired nine consecutive batters after allowing a leadoff double in the fourth inning. Murphy said Gasser pitched with more confidence after the early pitch-count spike.
Gasser finished with career-high totals of seven strikeouts and six innings pitched. Gasser was 2-0 with a 2.57 ERA in five starts in 2024 before undergoing Tommy John surgery. He returned for two starts in 2025. "Yeah, I'm definitely confident," Gasser said.
